Wiring A Dual Switch Ceiling Fan Before we delve into the wiring process, it’s important to understand the basic components of a dual switch ceiling fan. typically, a dual switch fan has two wall switches – one for the fan and another for the light. the fan switch controls the speed of the fan, while the light switch turns the light on and off. each switch is connected to. Step 2: unpack fan and prep for install. link to my fan: baxtan 56″ ceiling fan (i’ve also used this hack with this, larger fan: honeywell ceiling fans xerxes, 62 inch) feed the electrical wires from the motor, through the downrod and then screw the downrod into the threads on the top of the motor. threading the wire can be a bit tricky if.
Dual Wall Switch For Ceiling Fan Option 1: using two separate switches. this option requires two separate switches, one for the fan and one for the light. each switch will have its own wiring connection to the fan and the light. this is the most common wiring option for a dual switch ceiling fan. option 2: using a single switch with a dual switch plate. The two core plus ground is the incoming feed to the light fixture. with a single load, typically a further two core would be used to carry the live out to the switch and back, by wire nutting the two together (or using a spare terminal on the light fixture, and thw switched return and the white neutral would then go to the light. In practical we have to connect the terminals of the capacitor to the red and blue wire of the fan. after connecting the capacitor the red wire and the neutral black wire from the fan will be connected to the source and neutral through the switch. fig 2: schematic diagram of the internal circuit of a ceiling fan. I can wire the ceiling fan and just leave the red wire capped with a wire nut, but that leave a useless switch in the wall. the ceiling fan that was up before had a remote and the switches on the wall worked ( 1 switch had to be on in order for the remote to work, and the other controlled power to the fan).
